iis-express

I have a web application that runs perfectly fine when I use the Visual Studio 2010 development server (Cassini). However when I try to use IIS Express to host the site Chrome just displays a "Bad Request - Request Too Long" error. The IIS Express site does display in other browsers (FireFox and IE9) so I'm kind of confused. The error occurs in Chrome when I try request pages in my application or even basic resources like an image, so I don't think it is an issue with URL rewriting or routing. Just to see if the problem was somehow a result of my site's code, I created a new MVC3 website and

In Visual studio, Solution->Web.Project->Properties->Web, I have changed my Project Url from http://localhost:51123/ to http://localhost:51123/NewProjectName and I keep getting this error: " Cannot add duplicate collection entry of type 'add' with unique key attribute 'name' set to .... " on every module added. Adding a remove tag works but then it should have been a problem even before i changed the url. Any suggestions? orjanto I think IIS Express probably has 2 <application> -blocks and both will be pointing to the same physicalPath. Go to the IIS Express config file in: My Documents

I've used the Web PI to install IIS Express. In the tray, there is not the IIS Express icon. How do I start IIS Express without using the command line?

I have a app which is under source control (TFS 2012 also) on c:\Dev\MyApp\Main. Because im developing a new feature I decided to open a branch on c:\Dev\MyApp\BranchNewFeature. I developed and when I decided that it was time to test it was like i hadn't done any changes at all. I hit F5 and i see the baseline version of the app... Looking into it I noticed a very curious fact: When i check IIS Express the "launch path" for the applications is the old one (c:\Dev\MyApp\Main). Can anyone help me make IIS Express point to the new path? (C:\Dev\MyApp\BranchNewFeature) Chris Gillum I ran into the

I can't solve this problem I suggest I have to change c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file and add after # localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself. the next line: 127.0.0.1 mysite.dev but it doesn't help. Any suggestions? Error ocсurrs when I try to open web site project in Microsoft Visual Studio 2012. More often than not, at least in my case, this happens is when a *.csproj.user file is in the project directory and has <UseIISExpress>true</UseIISExpress> in it. Alternatively, as mentioned by Zachary Cutler you can also simply: close Visual Studio, delete the *.csproj

When I switch my ASP.NET MVC project from Cassini web server to IIS Express, this is added to my applicationhost.config file: <location path="MyProject"> <system.webServer> <security> <authentication> <anonymousAuthentication enabled="false" /> <windowsAuthentication enabled="false" /> </authentication> </security> </system.webServer> </location> It's causing the site not to load with 401.2 - Unauthorized and I can't fix it on the Web.config level - it will then complain that the section is locked at parent level (HTTP 500.19). I can fix it by amending the applicationhost.config file but I don

I have some utility methods that uses Microsoft.Web.Administration.ServerManager that I've been having some issues with. Use the following dead simple code for illustration purposes. using(var mgr = new ServerManager()) { foreach(var site in mgr.Sites) { Console.WriteLine(site.Name); } } If I put that code directly in a console application and run it, it will get and list the IIS express websites. If I run that app from an elevated command prompt, it will list the IIS7 websites. A little inconvenient, but so far so good. If instead I put that code in a class library that is referenced and
